A) Van Niel
B) Ruben
C) Jean Senebier
D) Julius Robert Mayer
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
In 1930 C.B. Van Niel proved that, sulphur bacteria use \[{{H}_{2}}S\](in place of water) and \[C{{O}_{2}}\] to synthesize carbohydrates as follows : \[6C{{O}_{2}}+12{{H}_{2}}S\xrightarrow{{}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+6{{H}_{2}}O+12S\] This led Van Niel to the pastulation that in green plants, water (H2O) is utilized in place of \[{{H}_{2}}S\] and \[{{O}_{2}}\] is evolved in place of sulphur (S). He indicated that water is electron donar in photosynthesis. \[6C{{O}_{2}}+12{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+6{{H}_{2}}O+6{{O}_{2}}\]
